Gerrard has joined a host of former players, including Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher, in agreeing to play in the charity match on March 25.

"I'm really looking forward to playing in the LFC Foundation Legends Charity match -- Anfield will always hold a special place in my heart," Gerrard told Liverpool's official website.

"It's a real honour to be sharing the pitch with such a great team of legends whilst raising money for the club's official charity."

All proceeds from the match will support the foundation's charity programmes and partnerships, which aim to improve the health and life chances of children and young people on Merseyside and elsewhere.
